In 2001, the Ministry of Transportation Ontario, Canada, constructed its first stabilization project involving full-depth reclamation with expanded (foamed) asphalt on the Trans-Canada Highway, south of Wawa, Ontario. The project involved three mix designs, two with corrective aggregate and one without corrective aggregate. A control section of full-depth reclamation with the same thickness of hot-mix overlay (without expanded asphalt stabilization) was placed in the middle of the project. The project has been monitored annually for the past 10 years. Analysis of roughness data and pavement distress data indicated a significant difference between the test sections with expanded asphalt stabilized base and the control section. The expanded asphalt stabilization has delivered superior performance compared with the conventional full-depth reclamation with hot-mix overlay. Performance curves for the treatments on this project were compared with the ministry's average performance curve for full-depth reclamation (reconstruction) projects and with the performance of treatments on two adjacent projects. This project demonstrated the exceptional performance of the expanded asphalt mixes through 10 years of proven superior pavement condition and ride.
